Feelin' Hot Hot Hot

The heat wave in Aylmerton continues unabated, with thunderstorms and some torrential downpours missing us so far, the garden is starting to wilt a bit! The wheat is also starting to be brought in so the House Sparrows are playing 'Dare' on the road after the spillage, score so far- Cars 4 - House Sparrows c 80! A couple of sightings this week of Hobby over the village are fairly typical for this time of year. The pond is looking fairly dragonfly-less at the moment but possibly due to the fact that at the best time of the day for these creatures is when I'm at work.Had the trap on or a couple of hours last night and along with the usual suspects of previous catches were Least yellow-Underwing, Marbled Beauty (pot escape!) and a cracking Black Arches GYL 128Black Arches
